[QUOTE="DJCupboard, post: 3439152, member: 21995"] The fighter/monk player is relatively new to the game and wants to have a monk that does neat tricks (as someone above put it). Were I a player in a gestalt game, monk/psion would be my first choice, but she has no experience with the psionics rules. In terms of the knight as a support role, I always saw it as a commander type (like the marshal) but instead of getting everyone to do their best, just stands there and forces the enemy to pay attention to him, which takes the pressure off an otherwise undersized party, were I to throw moderately normal-sized encounters at them. I had been thinking Dragon Shaman, but the urge to use the breath weapon would be too great, and I don't want to have a support character that can do anything to make the PCs wish they had made a different build. So far I think I like the idea of a Cleric one one side and a Knight/Marshall/knight/knight/marshal, ad infinitum on the other side, the most. Probably a dwarf with some choices out of RoS for armor and feats. The grizzled old commander who has come out of retirement grudgingly one last time. [/QUOTE]
